24/04/2026 | 10:49:07 Honourable Madam President, Dear colleagues, My topic is the protection of citizens in our countries, in the countries of the Council of Europe. We have had an intensive week.

This is a great loss for the Council of Europe, for friends of democracy, for those who fight against corruption and for all of us who knew him personally. Mr Alfred HEER spoke with clarity. He never chose the easy path, but the one that... 30/09/2025 | 17:34:04 Madam Vice-President, members of the Assembly, In recent years, Kazakhstan has made great efforts to overhaul and modernise its political system and strengthen its democratic institutions.
